Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The University has been involved with Jaguar Cars Limited in the field of millimetre-wave automotive radar sensors for 8 years. During this time such sensors have progressed at Jaguar from laboratory prototypes to full scale consumer products. The XK8R sport car is now available to the public with a high performance 76GHz radar as the prime sensor for intelligent cruise control.This joint proposal, with jaguar and Cranfield University, is to undertake fundamental research into the development of the next generation applications of radar, and other sensor, particularly for pedestrian detection. Birmingham's primary role in this collaborative research is to provide radar expertise. This will encompass evaluation and validation of sensors supplied by AutoLiv, data acquisition and analysis, and the development of novel methods of radar based target height measurement and target classification. Use will also be made of existing expertise and facilities to investigate the issues of pedestrian detection at frequencies up to 110GHz in the laboratory.This work will provide a fundamental knowledge based for the development of sensors for the next generation automotive applications and may have a significant influence on future UK product development capability in this area.EngProg\
